About The Position

Grace at Home is a provider-led, community-based health and care partner dedicated to improving the health and well-being of those who need care the most, with a deep commitment to high-needs, urban and rural communities. Our local physicians, nurses, and caregivers work together to serve people and the communities they live in, beyond just treating symptoms. We remove barriers by delivering personalized care as close to home as possible, often in-home, because we know a deep understanding of our patient’s race, culture, and environment is critical to delivering improved health outcomes. By empowering patients, providers, and caregivers with the support they need, we strive to make health and care a reality—not a burden—every single day. Join us in creating a better way to care. The Licensed Clinical Social Worker reports to the Clinical Manager with accountability for providing strategy, judgment, organization, and timely delivery of care. We are committed to serving through a Culture of Care. The core principles that drive Grace at Home in every market are the same, though they are expressed locally may vary: Humility, Partnership, Transparency, Creativity, Integrity, and Empathy.
